In the jlsle of Palms South Carolina undoubtedly has the finest beach on the Atlantic coast. "If I conld get my people? the people of the north?to belieye that it is as cool down here as it really i isj the management of this hotel would I I have to tribble its capacity in less than a week. This is the finest place I haye ever visited and I have been to j many of the leading resorts and seashore towns of the country." This statement was made by a gentleman from Chicago, a guest at the Seashore Hotel on the Isle of Palms to the writer a few days ago. And this gentleman expressed the sen timents of practically every person whp has visited this famous beach this season. There is a facination about the Isle of Palms over all other summer resorts?the longer you stay the longer you want to stay. It was with difficulty that our party was in- j disced to return home. The Seashore Hotel, under the management of Messrs. Dub & Clar cay, is earing for the crowds in royal fashion, and no better hostelry is to be found in the United States. The management is alreary contemplating the erection of additional buildings in order to meet the demands of next season. For those seeking rest the Seashore hotel is a haven. me UBillUg 18 UQO.

We are assured that the new building will not be erected where the present building I now stands* and that is * 'satisfaction tons." We understand that the trustees haye under consideration- two | sites, either of which will be satisfactory to The Dispatch, and either of which will make attractive school irrrmnrts Thp Dianateh is not a "die I III - * *1ator," but we felt it our duty to champion a new site in the iuterest of the people, in the interest of the town, and in the interest of education. We % ; i jeave the selection of the site to the ! hoard of trustees, having the utmost V/ .confidence in their determination to do vwhat is right. ^ ! **% ~ On the 8th of August ih*- -cople of : I pf* ' - ?the Edmund school district will have . an opportunity to advance the cause of . education in that town and section? an opportunity tbey can ill afford to let go by, and ic is believed tnat the ! proposition will carry by a large majority.

This opportunity is before ?hem; will the psopie grasp it? f Hon. W. H. Sharpe, who presided oyer the big educational and farmers' meeting at Edmund on Saturday, is one of the best presiding officers in the county. Always a happy speaker, Mr. Sharpe was at his best, and, being among his home people, iD his home town, where he has labored zealously ; in and out of season for the upbuilding of the community, what he had ! " * to say was heard with keen interest and pleasure. I' The Picnic Yesterday. St. Stephen's Lutheran Sundayschool held its annual nicnic at Mathi as' Mineral spring yesterday, the attendance being unusually large. Despite the warm weather the occasion was much enjoyed. The Southern Railway is paying in to the treasury of LexiDgton county for school purposes ah immense sum of mouev each year?more than any other one agency in the county. The Southern has adopted the policy of lending its aid and influence in the promotion of any undertaking which has as its object the betterment of the masses. In this the Southern is to be commended; for in advancing the peoples interests it promotes its own. Let everybody get on the progressive band-wagon?the wagon that has carried so many other towns to the fmnfi. Lextmrton is the best situated of all the courthouse towns in the State to go forward. Let na make er' ery thing so attractive to the homeseeker that those who want to move will move this way. 1i the course of events?and we yenture the assertion that it will not be long?many Colombians will be living in Lexington and conducting their business, in Columbia* Twelve miles over good road . Count for little to the business who owns an aatomobile. Already Columbia is refering to Lexington as one of its suburbs. With free bridges in the near future, linking Lexington and Columbia closer together by the ties of friendship, Lexington, the pictureesque village that she is, cannot but grow and blossom as the rose. Work for Lexington and watch her grow! POSTMASTERS TO MEET. Postmaster S. J.
